You are Rupert Murdoch, and I claim my £5.

You don't have to wait. The law abiding would have nothing to fear from this surveillance provided all those with access to the data can be guaranteed to be completely benign (your point, and enough cause to worry in itself) and completely competent: no possibility of misinterpretation of data, no possibility of Buttle/Tuttle data errors, no possibility of that data leaking out to those who shouldn't have it and who might use it for nefarious purposes. But hey, we're safe on that last point, at least. There's no possibility of information leaks from any government department, is there?

There have been lots of suggestions for retconning the 12 regens rule to allow for more regens. The one I find most credible is that the 12 regen rule was enforced by the time lords themselves, and now that The Doctor is the only one left it's pretty much up to him. Chances are they won't bother retconning it, just ignore it and let the fans do their own retconning.

Mark Bridger is 47. I doubt he would have taken much notice of his parents telling him not to surf porn.

This isn't about preventing children watching porn, this is about preventing everyone watching (certain) porn. If we could be confident that it would only be child porn that would be blocked then I'd be content with that (I don't want to stumble on that stuff by accident), But I don't think we can be confident.

Not just Amazon. I can read stuff I download from the Google Play store on my Android phone and tablet (and possibly my laptop too -- haven't tried) without an internet connection.

Yeah, they drink VB, which actually manages to be worse.

Negligible compared to the latency involved in trying to use a DAW with recent Windows sound drivers.

They certainly turned out to be for the BBC.

The "Self-Hating Jew" myth is just a version of the No True Scotsman fallacy, weasel words to try to avoid the truth that Jewish != Zionist and to try to exclude anybody who disagrees with you from the discussion.

Because the education system put in place by those leaders keeps the population so ignorant and superstitious etc...?

Er ... no. A protocol isn't math.

The implementation might be in software, but the article says that the patents relate to the protocol, not the implementation of the protocol.

And I'll expect that BT will point out that these aren't software patents.

This is about British Telecom. They've probably only just heard of VOIP.

But apparently the judge didn't, otherwise there would have been a mistrial declared and either perjury or contempt of court charges.
